Mr. Peabody's Ducktastic Ducks

Today we went to the Peabody hotel, and it was "Ducktastic". We say this because of the ducks. That is right, this five star hotel is known for its foul friends! As a matter of fact they hold a ceremony every day where they parade the ducks on a red carpet, into an elevator, and to their penthouse on the roof.

The National Civil Rights Museum

Today was fun! The best part was the National Civil Rights Museum. They had a bunch of exhibits of influential people who aided in civil rights. We saw where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. We also saw where James Earl Ray shot him. The rooms in the exhibit were tiny and intimidating. We enjoyed this museum and we have enjoyed this trip!

A ducktastic experience

Today we visited the Pebody hotel at 5:00 P.M to see the Peabody Ducks take there dailey march to there rooftop home on the Pebody Hotel. We got there a little early so I decided to watch the ducks. There were three little ducks in the fountin today two girls and one boy. I noticed how well trained the ducks were and how they stayed in the pond and didn't fly out. The fountain was extremely spectacular, with it's vase like features the ducks swam below it as the stone moved up into an open top filled with extrodanary flowers. The duck marshal then walked down the red carpet and got all the ducks to the steps and lead them to there private elevator and back to there roof top home. We were going to get to see the ducks but since there was ice the ducks were closed to the public. I did find out from the duck marshal (or is it master?) that it takes about a week to train the ducks to stay in the pond and that those were the ducks that we saw, it was there third day in the pond.
Well that was our experence at the Pebody Hotel and it was alot of fun

Long ride, fun time

Yesterday was a very long ride on our way to Memphis. It took literally forever to get here. What kept me busy most of the time was my phone, my friends, and the movies. When we  got to the hotel, I took a shower and went to SLEEP! Today was fun though. We went to the  Rock n Soul Museum where I learned about the start of music. We just got back from playing Laser Tag- it wore me out!- I'm so tired right now. Today was really fun. Goodnight.
